Abstract
A memory device includes a memory array comprising a plurality of planes, a plurality of voltage generation systems, and a controller. Each voltage generation system is electrically coupled to a corresponding plane. The controller is configured to turn on and warm up each voltage generation system of the plurality of voltage generation systems in response to a first command to access any plane of the plurality of planes and turn off and slowly discharge each voltage generation system of the plurality of voltage generation systems into an idle state in response to no commands being processed. In response to receiving a subsequent command to access any plane of the plurality of planes prior to the voltage generation systems reaching the idle state, a warm up period of the plurality of voltage generation systems is reduced.
